Club career
[
edit
]
Born in
Calheta, Madeira
, China began playing at A.D.R. Prazeres. When the opportunity arose to move to Estrela da Calheta FC, his chairman did not authorise the transfer due to bad blood between the two clubs; he played competitive
futsal
until the situation was resolved.
[2]
China had trialled unsuccessfully on several occasions at
C.S. Maritimo
, but was taken on by the
C team
under his former Calheta manager Nelson Gouveia, and signed a professional deal in January 2015 at age 22. He made his debut in the
Primeira Liga
on 15 May 2016 at the end of
the season
, playing the entirety of a 2?1 away loss against
Moreirense F.C.
under the management of
Nelo Vingada
.
[2]
[3]
China missed the middle of the
2016?17 campaign
due to a three-month
pubalgia
.
[2]
On 10 February 2018, he was
sent off
in a 3?0 defeat at
Rio Ave FC
.
[4]
In May 2021, when his contract was due to expire, it was extended for two years.
[5]
In
2022?23
, China played only ten times as Maritimo were relegated, with most of his appearances being as a
substitute
for
Vitor Costa
. Nonetheless, at the season's end, he was rewarded with a two-year extension.
